Awesome! I wanna hear everything about your experience with your new build. I'm drooling on similar system...but my wallet doesn't allow me to get one.

You will, I cant shutup when I get new toys

@Dude. Is that the 3900x?

Yes it is

There's a new update out for iCUE. 3.28.70

@Dude AMD?
I thought you liked overclocking
With that you'll never get 5.4GHz

But at least with AMD you'll be safer online with AMD
I'm talking about allllll those Intel security advisories, µ code and ME firmware updates

Another nice thing about AMD now, is not only the bang for the buck, but they kick Intel's butt when it comes to energy bills with their power curves/watts per MHz.

Yeah, wont hit 5.4 but I sure will enjoy all those cores. Should be a big improvement over my 7700K

Hi,
Nice Dude
I was going to go for a 3950 or 60x but everyone sounded like 4k series was going to drop soon so I stopped that plus 3960x was priced so unbalanced from 3950x it didn't make any sense either.

Figured you would go for the 3970

Yep you can game, and run a streaming VM and a game server all on one machine now.
